orange yellow ; there is a narrow oblique cloud in the lower apical two- 
thirds of the first cubital cellule reaching the apex at the end of the first 
abscissa of the cubitus and is prolonged below the cubitus ; outside the 
fore part of the recurrent nervure is an irregular pyriform cloud, the fore 
part of which is dilated at the base, along the cubitus. Basal two seg- 
ments of abdomen irregularly, the following three strongly, more regularly 
striated ; the first segment has a stout keel down the middle ; the striae
